Original Date of Post: 10/19/2008
Narrator: And now for something completely different! Ha! Kidding! We’re just going back to the high school front for now. It’s not Monty Python’s Flying Circus or anything like that! (Music comes on) I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay! I sleep all night and I work all day!
Zoey: (Growls) Damn you Dawn! (Thinking) Great! Thanks to her, I’m in detention today. There goes my perfect record!
Narrator: Yes…A good girl like Zoey in detention? It happened! Let’s just say she took the fall for something that Dawn did.
Zoey: (Sighs) Sometimes I wonder if you’re even worth it. (Gets a tap on the shoulder) Huh?
Marley: Excuse me, do you have a pencil I can borrow?
Zoey: Oh yeah! Here you go!
Marley: Thank you! Let me guess! That sexist pig Coach Surge sent you here?
Zoey: Huh? No, it was something else. Let’s just say I did a favor for a “friend” and ended up in here! That’s the last time I do her any favors! What about you?
Marley: It’s because of that jerk, Surge! He’s had it out for me since day one. So I called him a dick and ended up in here.
Zoey: Oh God, I hate Coach Surge! I never had him for P.E. but heard so many stories about him. Not to mention he’s so arrogant that it's almost sickening! All you have to do is get a transfer into Miss Sheila’s P.E. class. I had her last year and she’s pretty cool.
Marley: I didn’t know there was a female coach at this school.
Zoey: Yeah there is! But do you think it’s wise for us to talk in here? I mean, Mr. Spenser could wake up at any moment.
Marley: The old man isn’t going to wake up anytime soon. Some of the upperclassmen put sleeping pills in his tea, so he’s out cold! Here’s your pencil back!
Zoey: That was fast!
Marley: I really didn’t need it. I just borrowed it to spark a conversation.
Zoey: Clever. My name is Zoey.
Marley: Nice to meet you. I’m Marley!
Zoey: So Marley, what do you do to pass the time in here?
Marley: Normally, I’ll draw. But if I have someone worth talking to, I usually like to play a nice game of chess.
Zoey: You have a board?
Marley: I always keep this mini set with me.
Zoey: Set it up! (In the front office)
Dawn: Please!
Laura: No!
Dawn: Pretty please!
Laura: No!
Dawn: Pretty please with sugar on top!
Laura: FOR THE LAST TIME NO! I can’t get Zoey out of detention! It’s out of my hands.
Dawn: Come on! It’s a very simple process. You just go in the room and tell Mr. Spenser that Zoey needs to be seen by the principal and she can get out.
Laura: That’s dishonest! I’ll have no part in that.
Dawn: Fine, I’ll do it myself!
Laura: Your plan lacks logic! No teacher is going to believe you because you’re not the principal’s assistant. On the other hand, I am! But I’m not going to do it.
Dawn: Some friend you are! (She leaves the office)
Brianna: There you are!
Dawn: Oh hey Brianna.
Brianna: So what were you doing in the principal’s office? (Gasp) Did you talk to the principal about dropping that rule about the skirt and short length?
Dawn: No, and I for one support the idea of the longer skirts. I can’t tell you how many girls wear these itty-bitty skirts with no underwear around school.
Brianna: What the hell are you talking about? You wear one of the shortest skirts in school.
Dawn: First of all, my skirts are all perfectly legal around the school. And second, I was in there to try and get Zoey out of detention.
Brianna: Zoey’s in detention?! How did she end up in the mini-clink?
Dawn: I really can’t say otherwise I could get in trouble for it.
Brianna: You mean she took the fall for something you did?
Dawn: I feel bad enough without hearing that!
Brianna: You better do something! You don’t want to end up alone…and dateless. The dance is coming up.
Dawn: Yeah, I know that! You’ve been reminding all of us that the dance is coming up for the last three weeks. You’re worse than a broken record! But come on! I seriously doubt that Zoey is going to break up with me just because of that little incident!
Brianna: What did you do that got her into trouble?
Dawn: Eh? I told you I can’t tell you! Huh? Hey Brianna, look over there. That guy!
Brianna: You mean the geek with the glasses?
Dawn: He’s been following me around for the last few weeks. You think I have a stalker?
Brianna: Why would he be stalking you? You don’t even play for the same team as me! It's probably me that he is stalking! Wait, that means I have a stalker? HEY PUNK! What’s the idea of stalking me? (He runs away) YOU BETTER RUN! (A little later outside the detention room)
Dawn: Damn it! It’s past 4:30 and she’s not out yet! (The door opens) Oh thank God the torture is over! (Zoey and Marley walk out) There you are! (Zoey glares at her) Hey, I’m sorry that you had to be in detention. I promise it’ll never happen again. So let’s just kiss and make up!
Zoey: You think I’m going to forgive you just because you give me some half-assed apology?
Dawn: You know I didn’t mean to get you in trouble!
Marley: If you’re really sorry, you would have turned yourself in instead of setting Zoey up like that.
Dawn: Who the hell are you?
Marley: My name is Marley!
Dawn: Well then Marley, you can stick your nose in somebody else’s business because this doesn’t concern you!
Zoey: Marley, wait for me out in the courtyard. This won’t take long! (Marley leaves) I can’t believe you Dawn! If you really cared about me, you would have done the right thing and cleared my name. You know damn well I had nothing to do with that incident. It was all your doing!
Dawn: But Zoey, I tried to…
Zoey: No you didn’t! Don’t even lie to me like that! You were just covering your own ass! You make me sick! (She walks away)
Dawn: Please Zoey! Let me explain! Don’t walk away from me! Don’t flip me off! Don’t walk out that door! (The door slams) Zoey! (Shouting) I’ll see you tomorrow! (Back at the college)
Misty: So did he give you a clue as into what he’s going to give you?
Marisa: Nope! And I really don’t care! Just as long as I get to be with him and just as long as I get to do all of the things I need to do once my birthday comes.
Misty: What do you need to do that’s so important?
Marisa: I’m registering to vote! I have waited for this day for so long and I can finally vote in an election. And this election is the big one!
Misty: Just promise me you’re not going to throw red paint on anybody!
Marisa: I promise nothing! Oh and I’m also going to buy some lottery tickets! You never know if my birthday may be the big pay day!
Misty: Whoa! Look in that classroom and tell me who you see!
Marisa: Alright! (Gasp) I didn’t know Winona was taking classes here!
Misty: I’m glad to see her finally back on her feet! (People come out of the classroom)
Winona: Thanks for the notes today!
Misty: Winona!
Winona: Huh? Misty, Marisa, it’s nice to see you girls again!
Steven: I see you’ve found some of your friends!
Winona: Oh Steven, this is Misty and Marisa. I went to high school with these girls.
Steven: It’s nice to meet you girls. My name is Steven Stone and I’m taking this class with Winona. I’m going to head back to my place! I’ll see you later Winona!
Winona: We’re still on for that study session tomorrow right?
Steven: It’s a date! Laters! (He leaves)
Misty: So I see you’re getting a little cozy in class!
Winona: What are you talking about?
Marisa: Come on! We saw the way you were talking to Steven! And it looks to me like you were discussing more than just today’s notes! (Winona blushes)
Misty: Oh, she’s blushing!
Winona: Yeah, well Steven has kind of been…helpful to me these last few months. (The girls squeal)
Marisa: So how long have you two been going out?
Misty: Yeah, we’ve known you to get the guy pretty fast. Or at least that was the case when it came to Wallace!
Winona: We’re not dating.
Misty: Oh. Well then, I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of boyfriends within the last few years. (Winona shakes her head) You’re kidding, right?
Winona: I’m afraid not. You see, I haven’t gone on a single date since Wallace’s death.
Marisa: I know people need time to have their hearts heal, but still!
Winona: And Steven is a nice guy…and cute…very cute…but…
Misty: No buts! Wallace isn’t getting any more dead, you know! It’s time that you start to move on! Who knows? Maybe you two will go very far!
Winona: I realize that…I just have…some doubts.
Marisa: What doubts? (Winona sighs) Just give him a chance.
Misty: It’s always tough to go on a date, especially if you haven’t been on one in a while. It’s like if you fall off a bike, you’ve just got to get back up and continue to ride.
Marisa: If you want, we can help you out with this anxiety you have with dating.
Winona: I don’t know, you guys.
Misty: You’ve got nothing to lose working with us! (The next morning at the high school)
Brianna: So Wally, did you get our tickets?
Wally: Got them this morning!
Brianna: Super! And I’ve got a nice day planned for you the day of the dance!
Wally: What did you have in mind?
Brianna: A little bit of this and that! Nothing too big or life changing! (Giggles)
Wally: When you giggle like that, it usually means you’re up to no good! (Laura sighs)
Laura: Is this another attempt at making Wally look like Drew?
Brianna: Now why would I do something like that? Drew is just a thing of the past and is out of my life. He’s with his girlfriend and baby!
Laura: Like you ever had a chance with Drew in the first place!
Dawn: You’re turning cynical just like your cousin. What gives?
Laura: Sorry, I’m just a little irritated. As it turns out, Gary’s not going to the dance with me like I thought he was.
Wally: I’m sorry to hear that Laura. I’m sure you’ll find another date for the dance.
Brianna: Yeah! I’ll tell you what, you can have Dawn’s stalker for a date. Lord knows she doesn’t need him!
Laura: (Sarcastic) Thanks for the concern! (Sighs) Forget it! I’ll just forget the dance and spend the night with my cousin. It’s her birthday after all!
Brianna: Now why would you do something stupid like that? I say you find yourself a date for the dance. Piss Gary off for standing you up!
Laura: I wouldn’t do that and I couldn’t do it. And who’s stalking you, Dawn?
Dawn: I wouldn’t say stalking…
Brianna: Yes you would! You said this guy has been watching you for the past few weeks.
Laura: Really? What’s he look like?
Brianna: Well, he’s kind of tall and wears these geeky Napoleon Dynamite glasses, and has blue-ish hair.
Laura: You mean him? (Brianna and Dawn scream) Will you two stop screaming? He’s probably just shy and wants to be friends.
Brianna: That’s what the story is now. Wait one week and we’ll all be dead in his basement!
Laura: You are a paranoid moron! I’m going to invite him over! (She walks over there)
Brianna: She’s crazy! He’s probably some closet pervert!
Dawn: Well whatever the story is, I think we’re about to find out.
Laura: Don’t worry! We’re all friendly at this table! Alright, you paranoid moron!
Brianna: Hey, don’t get snippy with me! He’s the one who has been following Dawn for the last few weeks!
Laura: Again, Conway was just doing that because he’s shy.
Dawn: How do you know his name?
Laura: There’s a reason why I’m an office assistant! It’s my job to know of all incoming students, or at least the new ones who are in our grade.
Dawn: You mean he’s a sophomore?
Conway: Sorry if it looked like I was stalking you.
Brianna: Yeah well you can keep those eyes right in your head and keep them off of my friend! As you can clearly see, she’s a cute looking girl. But what you don’t know is that she’s a lesbian! You know what that means, pervert? It means she’s off-limits to perverts like you!
Dawn: And you have a big mouth! (Zoey walks up) Uh, hi Zoey! (She scoffs and walks away)
Brianna: Whoa! Zoey seems pissed off at you!
Dawn: I really messed things up this time!
Brianna: Yeah! Did you apologize?
Dawn: Yes I did apologize! I meant it and she just blew me off. Her and that weird looking girl she was hanging out with! That girl!
Brianna: Ew! You mean that gothic-looking chick over there?
Laura: Marley?
Dawn: Are you familiar with the little creep?
Laura: Somewhat. She’s been in Principal Oak’s office a number of times already. She’s only a freshman, but she gets into trouble every other day. (All gasp) It’s just for minor stuff like calling Lt. Surge insulting names. (After school at the dorms)
Marisa: Okay, so we’re set up for Saturday? Great! I’ll see you then! (Hangs up) Just a couple of more days and I’ll finally be 18! Lottery tickets and voter registration, here I come! (Knock on the door) Coming! (Opens the door) Zoey?
Zoey: Hi Marisa! You mind if I talk to you?
Marisa: Sure, come in!
Narrator: One hour and three chess games later.
Zoey: And that’s what’s been happening! Your move!
Marisa: Sounds rough sweetie!
Zoey: Sometimes I wonder if Dawn and I were really meant to be. If we're really compatible!
Marisa: Hmm…It’s a tough decision to make. Check!
Zoey: It’s not just the recent incident, there were other incidents where I took some sort of fall for her and I’m downright sick of it! For once I would like for her to know how it feels to be treated like crap!
Marisa: What goes around comes around. I would stick with that saying. Dawn does something unforgivable, eventually it’ll come back to hit her when she least suspects it.
Zoey: If it gets through her thick skull, it’ll be a miracle.
Marisa: Check! Now tell me about this new girl you’ve just met.
Zoey: Oh Marley! She’s great! Of all places, I met her in detention! We have so much in common and get this, she’s a lesbian too!
Marisa: Small world!
Zoey: Yeah, plus she and I can actually play a game of chess. I don’t normally get to play because you’re busy with classes and forget getting Dawn to play! She thinks that when I want to play a game of Chess, she thinks it’s a strip game!
Marisa: An honest mistake, it is a strip game made up by drunken frat boys. And checkmate!
Zoey: Wow, that’s four games in a row you won!
Marisa: Hey, you almost had me in the last game. (The door opens)
Misty: I’m back! Zoey, I haven’t seen you in a while!
Zoey: Hey Misty!
Misty: Marisa, I did it! Winona is finally going to go on a date with Steven!
Marisa: That’s great Misty!
Misty: That’s not the best part! I agreed to Winona that we would help her with this upcoming date.
Marisa: You volunteered me? I guess it couldn’t hurt! When’s the date?
Misty: This Saturday!
Marisa: Saturday? Of all the days of the week, you picked Saturday?
Misty: First of all, I didn’t pick Saturday. It was Winona and Steven’s idea. Second, what’s so damn important about Saturday?
Marisa: Oh gee, what is so important? MY BIRTHDAY! For Christ sake Misty, I’ve been planning this day for months!
Misty: Like you were going to do anything important! Voter registration and lottery tickets, big deal!
Marisa: Maybe to you they’re not a big deal, but to me that’s something I’ve been waiting to do for a long time! And more importantly, I have a date that night!
Misty: A date?
Marisa: That’s right! Tracey is taking me out to a restaurant for my birthday!
Misty: THAT’S PERFECT! While you’re on your date, you can watch from a distance and make sure that Winona’s date goes according to plan!
Marisa: If you think I’m going to have my date ruined just for your plan to work, you’re out of your…
Misty: I’ll just call Winona and tell her to have her date where you’re having your date.
Marisa: Zoey if you would be so kind as to leave now. I’m going to stick something down Misty’s throat until it reaches her ass!
Zoey: No problem! Thanks again for the talk. I think I know what I’m going to do next!
Marisa: Huh? Don’t do anything too impulsive!
Zoey: Promise me you won’t do anything too impulsive either.
Marisa: I promise nothing! (The next morning at the high school)
Brianna: I’ve thought about it and I’ve found the perfect date for you! Get over here, you idiot! (Morrison walks over)
Morrison: How’s it going? (Belches)
Brianna: Morrison here has been looking for a date all week. I’m sure you two will have a great time at the dance.
Laura: That’s quite alright Brianna…I’m actually thinking of going alone.
Morrison: Stuck up bitch! (Walks away)
Laura: (Sighs) That was a close one! Ugh…Couldn’t you have picked a guy who isn’t a complete slob?
Brianna: Sorry. He was my first pick and first picks are usually terrible.
Laura: That and you have no taste!
Conway: If you like Laura, I could be your date for the evening.
Laura: I’ll think about it!
Brianna: Sorry pal! I guess Laura isn’t into dating closet perverts!
Conway: For the last time, I am not a closet pervert!
Brianna: Whatever closet pervert! (Dawn walks up) Hi sweetie! Oh my God Dawn, you look horrible! Your eyes are all blood-shot and everything! Have you been drinking?
Laura: Brianna, that’s not nice! Is something the matter Dawn? (Dawn sniffles)
Dawn: She…broke…up…with…ME! (Sobbing)
Laura: Come on sweetie, we’ll go into the bathroom and you can tell us all about it! (They all go into the bathroom)
Brianna: HEY! This is the GIRLS room! No dirty perverts allowed! (She slams and locks the door)
Conway: I’m not a pervert! (Inside)
Laura: What happened?
Dawn: (Sniffles) I tried to talk to Zoey this morning. But she shot me down and then she broke up with me.
Brianna: Wow, that’s rough!
Dawn: I didn’t mean for her to get in trouble the other day. She wouldn’t accept my apology!
Laura: Can you blame her? Zoey has told me of all the other times she took the fall for you. While she gets caught, you stay in hiding like a punk! I’m sorry to say this, but you kind of had it coming! (Dawn continues sobbing)
Brianna: Now what are you going to do for the dance?
Dawn: FORGET ABOUT THE STUPID DANCE! I’m getting a transfer to another school so I can forget about all of this!
Laura: Now you’re being hysterical! You know you don’t mean it! For the time being, just give Zoey some much needed distance! Who knows? Maybe she’ll come around and forgive you eventually.
Dawn: After all of the trouble I’ve gotten her into, I seriously doubt it.
Laura: If it makes you feel any better, I can always go to the dance with you.
Brianna: A pity date? Oh Dawn, you…
Dawn: I guess it couldn’t hurt!
Brianna: Sure you want to do this?
Laura: I don’t mind doing a Good Samaritan act when the opportunity comes. It wouldn’t hurt if you would do something good in your life.
Brianna: Hey, I’m very generous. Why just the other day I helped an old lady across the street…Okay fine! It was when I was a Girl Scout…seven years ago.
Laura: (Sarcastic) Your kindness knows no bounds!
Dawn: Guys…could you quite possibly leave me alone?
Laura: Oh sure. Do you need me to get you a glass of water or something?
Dawn: No thanks. I just want to be alone for now.
Narrator: And now it is finally Saturday. The high school students are getting ready for the annual Homecoming dance, we’ll take a peak on how that’s going in a bit. But first, we’re going to focus on the birthday girl herself for a day I know she won’t ever forget.
Marisa: One Pepper Scratcher, and two Powerball tickets!
Marcus: Something tells me that this isn’t the first time you bought lottery tickets.
Marisa: Yeah, well I’d like to go with the classic words of Sky Masterson and say, “Shut the fuck up and mind your own business!”
Marcus: Sky Masterson never said that!
Marisa: No, I said it! Now let’s go! I want to get registered to vote so I can vote in this freakin’ election!
Marcus: Finally! My little buddy will finally get to live out her dreams and become a registered voter. I’m just so happy that you and I can join the ranks and promote the Democratic party's agenda.
Marisa: Whoa! Hold up, wait a minute! Who said anything about me becoming a Democrat?
Marcus: You are going to be a Democrat, right?
Marisa: Uh, no!
Marcus: You mean you’re going to sell out your very soul and join the party of EVIL?
Marisa: I don't want to talk about it! So just take me to the grocery store. I saw the tent for voter registration outside!
Marcus: Alright! But while we’re in the car, I’m going to give you all the reasons why you should become a Democrat!
Marisa: You better not go under the speed limit to increase your speech, or I’ll take you out myself. If I want to hear bull crap about how the Democrats are so freakin’ great, I would listen to Nancy freakin’ Pelosi!
Marcus: Fair enough! (At Winona’s house)
Misty: Gee, you’re not giving me much to work with here!
Winona: I really appreciate you helping me Misty. Sorry I don’t have that many dresses or cute outfits. I kind of outgrew all of my high school dresses when I became a mother.
Misty: That’s not a problem. We’ll just have to work with what we’ve got! Hmm, this is cute top!
Winona: Eh? (Thinking) I wore that top when I was seven months pregnant. (Aloud) I don’t think that’ll work Misty!
Misty: Hmm…Well, I guess I can always call Daisy and have her come and help us out.
Winona: No, no, no, no, no! This top is perfect! I just need to pick out a comfortable pair of pants and I’ll be all set! (Nervous laugh)
Misty: Okay! (In front of a grocery store)
Marisa: Thank the great, good Lord we’re finally here! (She gets out of the car)
Marcus: But you haven’t heard about what I had to say on Bill Clinton!
Marisa: If this is about his stupid blowjob, I don’t want to hear about it!
Marcus: But that’s the best part!
Todd: Marisa, haven’t seen you in a while!
Marisa: Todd! What are you doing here? Registering to vote too?
Todd: I did that a couple of months ago! I’m just going to buy a few things inside. Are you registering to vote?
Marisa: Well yeah…
Todd: Oh perfect! I always knew I could count on you to join the Republicans!
Marisa: You cannot be serious! (Marcus runs up)
Marcus: Over my dead body she’s going to the Republican side!
Todd: I should have known you would fill her head with the thoughts of the party of nonsense!
Marisa: Don’t tell me you guys fight over politics too! Can’t you boys get along?
Todd: Liberal hippie!
Marcus: Right-wing nut-job!
Todd: Hillary Clinton butt-kisser!
Marcus: Karl Rove wannabe!
Marisa: (Sighs) I’m out of here! (Back at Winona’s house)
Winona: Oh bother!
Misty: Alright Winona, these are the last pair of pants in here that aren’t sweatpants. Try them on! (Unzipping and struggling)
Winona: Oh man! See Misty, I told you! A lot of these clothes I haven’t been able to fit into since before I got pregnant.
Misty: Hmm…Maybe a nice dress will do! How about this one?
Winona: That’s more of a church dress.
Misty: It’s really that or nothing. (Winona sighs)
Winona: Give it here! At least that’s one thing I can fit into. (Back in front of the grocery store)
Todd: Pinko-commie!
Marcus: War-monger!
Todd: Liberal crème-puff!
Marcus: Dumbass!
Marisa: Done!
Both: Done with what?
Marisa: While you two boneheads had a nice argument on which is the lesser of two evils, I was busy filling out my form.
Marcus: So tell me little buddy, what did you choose?
Todd: Democrat or Republican?
Marisa: Neither.
Marcus: What the hell? You have to choose one or the other?
Marisa: Uh, no!
Todd: Don’t tell me you’ve become one of those tree-hugging, Ralph Nadar supporting, hippies!
Marisa: I’m neither one of those, you idiot! But I did sign up for the Independent party!
Todd: Figures you would be on the fence!
Marisa: I had a long time to think about it and I came to the conclusion that both main parties suck-ass!
Marcus: But let’s just say hypothetically that you HAD no choice but to choose between the two parties. Which one would you choose?
Marisa: Drop it or I take you out of my will!
Marcus: Yes ma’am! (Later in the day outside Marisa’s dorm)
Michelle: Here we are you guys!
Laura: Thanks Auntie! We’ll be right back!
Dawn: Cool, this is where Marisa lives now?
Laura: Yup! Those are the dorms! You can come with us too if you’d like!
Conway: Sure! Hey Laura, I really appreciate you and your aunt picking me up.
Laura: It’s no problem! We just didn’t want you walking around in the dark is all! (In the dorm room)
Marisa: Damn it! Oh well, I win some and I lose some! I’ll check my Powerball ticket when I get home tonight. (Knock on the door) Huh? Tracey’s here already? (She opens the door) Laura!
Laura: Happy Birthday!
Marisa: Oh thank you so much! (They hug)
Dawn: Happy Birthday Marisa!
Marisa: Thank you Dawn!
Dawn: Wow, you’re pretty dressed up!
Marisa: Tracey’s taking me out on a date tonight!
Dawn: I hope you have a fun time tonight!
Marisa: Well I hope you guys have fun at your dance tonight. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t! Huh? I don’t believe we’ve met!
Laura: Oh, this is Conway! He’s our new friend!
Conway: Nice to meet you ma’am.
Marisa: Oh that’s way too formal. You can just call me Marisa. Hey, is he your date for the evening Laura?
Laura: What? Are you kidding? I would never do that to Gary and you know that.
Marisa: Alright, just asking. But is Gary taking you?
Laura: No, he couldn’t go. Busy with work and such!
Marisa: Okay. (Misty enters the room)
Misty: What is this, a party?
Marisa: They were just here to wish me a happy birthday.
Misty: So are you ready to go?
Dawn: Are you guys doing a double date?
Marisa: Absolutely not! After May and Drew ruined the double date experience for me, never again. Misty is going to the same restaurant and she’s going to stay out of our way tonight or else.
Misty: Keep your thong on! I guarantee that your night with Tracey will be fine and that I won’t bug you unless I really need you for something. (Later at the restaurant)
Tracey: (Sighs) This is just so nice! Just you and me!
Marisa: I know what you mean sweetie!
Misty: Psst! Marisa! Yoo-hoo!
Tracey: Huh? I could have sworn someone was calling your name.
Marisa: Must have been your imagination! But I must go to the bathroom on an unrelated matter! (Goes to the other side of the room) What the hell do you want?
Misty: Look at them Marisa!
Marisa: Yeah, I’m looking at Winona and Steven sitting down enjoying their date, which is something I would like to do with Tracey.
Misty: She’s barely saying a thing! Time to intervene a little! Help me grab Winona’s attention!
Winona: Huh? Steven, I’ll be right back!
Marisa: This is getting ridiculous!
Winona: Yes Misty.
Misty: What was that? Why aren’t you talking to him?
Winona: I really don’t have much to say.
Misty: Bull crap! There’s plenty you can say to him! You’re just pussyfooting around!
Winona: But Misty…
Misty: No buts! Now get your butt in there!
Marisa: If you don’t mind, I’m going to go back to my date before Tracey gets suspicious. (She walks away)
Misty: Yeesh! Some people just don’t want to listen to me! (A little later at the dance)
Conway: Wow! The school does a good job on decorations for the dance!
Laura: Yup! The school usually goes all out for Homecoming and Prom. (Dawn sighs)
Brianna: Good evening everybody!
Laura: Hi Brianna! Hi…Drew?
Dawn: Wally, is that you?
Wally: See Brianna, I told you that this hairstyle makes me look like Drew.
Brianna: Oh, don't be silly! You don’t look like Drew at all! You look more like, more like…Frankie Muniz from Malcolm in the Middle! (All sigh)
Wally: Why do I even bother?
Laura: I thought you would have figured this out when she set up a few errands for you today. (Dawn sighs) Oh, I don’t even want to hear it from you. You’re here and tonight is all about trying to have a good time.
Dawn: I suppose.
Brianna: It’s going to be tough to forget Zoey seeing as she walked in with that gothic chick.
Dawn: What?
Brianna: Damn! Sucks to be you!
Laura: Okay, that's enough from you! Go dance with your spare tire!
Wally: Spare?
Brianna: Oh, shut up and dance with me! (Dawn tears up and runs into the bathroom)
Laura: Eh crap! We’ll be right back Conway! (In the bathroom)
Dawn: (Sobbing) I can’t believe it! I can’t believe what that bitch did to me!
Laura: Come on Dawn! I don’t like to see you miserable like this. But you have to admit that you were kind of abusive…emotionally you were. You took advantage of Zoey’s kindness. But, try to keep an open mind about this. She’s probably just using Marley to make you jealous so that you would snap and make a full-blown apology. You know, as long as you don’t make a full-blown ass out of yourself, you can try playing it off cool. I bet she’s not really going to go out with her. This is probably an attempt to make you jealous.
Dawn: Well it's working! But I can’t make her jealous! How the hell is she going to be jealous of you?
Laura: You don’t have to make her jealous. All you really have to do is kind of play things off like you don’t care. Zoey will realize that, try to advance more to make you pissed off, and then she’ll take you back.
Dawn: I hope you’re right. (A little later back at the restaurant)
Tracey: Something the matter?
Marisa: Huh? Oh nothing! I’m okay!
Tracey: You’ve just been very quiet throughout the night. Is something on your mind?
Marisa: Well, there is something that’s been bugging me for the last few days.
Tracey: Say no more! I know exactly what you’re trying to say. (He pulls out a condom) Don’t worry, I’m well protected!
Marisa: What the hell? Is that what all you men think about?
Tracey: Sorry! I thought you were ready for that next step. And don’t get the wrong idea about this! I don’t normally carry this thing around. My cousin Cheryl gave this to me just in case something happens.
Marisa: Nice to see your family is looking out for your best interest. Tracey, I thought you knew me better than that. I want to wait a little while before having sex. In other words, no sex until happily married and/or after college.
Tracey: Fine, fine! I can accept that. (The waiter walks up)
Waiter: Excuse me, is your name Marisa?
Marisa: Yeah.
Waiter: Then this note is for you. (He walks away)
Tracey: What’s it say?
Marisa: Nothing important. I have to call somebody. I’ll be right back! (She walks in the bathroom) What the hell do you want?
Misty: Well somebody needs an attitude adjustment! Winona’s still holding back. What do we do?
Marisa: Why don’t you let Winona do what she wants, let me go back to my date, and you go home?
Misty: Wait a second! Didn’t you say that people like to slow dance at this place?
Marisa: Fine. Tell her to dance with Steven and then go home. (She leaves the room)
Tracey: Is everything okay?
Marisa: Everything’s okay Tracey! I guarantee it! (Slow music comes on) Oh, I love this song! (Tracey stands up)
Tracey: I think I should give the birthday girl a slow dance. (Marisa blushes)
Marisa: Oh, you’re too good for words!
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you (No, no)
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you
I’ll love you more in the rain or shine
And makin’ love in the rain is fine
A love so good and I call it mine
Love is blind
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you (No, no, no)
I can tell you how I feel about (Woo) you night and day
Tracey: There you go! You don’t feel as tense as before!
Marisa: Nope! I guess it’s because Marcus pissed me off earlier, but now I’m feeling a lot better.
Tracey: Glad to hear it! (Nearby)
Steven: Would you care to dance?
Winona: …Sure. (They start slow dancing)
Steven: I’m really having a great time with you tonight. (Winona nods) You’ve been awfully quite tonight. Is there something you’d like to talk about?
Winona: No…Just thinking!
Steven: What about?
Winona: It’s just that…It’s just that…
Wallace’s voice: Winnie!
Winona: (Gasp) No! Things are moving too fast! (She pushes him away)
Steven: Huh? Winona…
Winona: I’m sorry Steven! (Tears up and runs out of the restaurant)
Steven: Wait, Winona.
Misty: Winona, don’t go!
Steven: Huh?
Tracey: Did I just hear Misty?
Marisa: No, it was just your imagination!
Tracey: Okay, I’ll leave it at that! (Outside the restaurant)
Misty: Winona?
Winona: I just can’t do it! I just can’t go through with it Misty.
Misty: What can’t you go through with?
Winona: It’s just falling in love again Misty. A part of me still can’t let go of…
Misty: Wallace?
Winona: I know he died over two years ago, but there are just some things I just can’t shake off. Thanks for the help anyways. (She walks away)
Misty: Oh Winona. (Back at the dance)
Dawn: Is it working yet?
Laura: You’ve been asking me the same question every five minutes for the past two hours and I keep telling you that nothing has happened. (Sighs) I need some punch!
Dawn: I’ll join you!
Laura: (Thinking) I never realized how clingy Dawn can be! (Conway walks up)
Conway: Hey Laura…
Laura: Oh hey! How’s your night going?
Conway: Uneventful.
Brianna: You’d get a date if you weren’t too much of a pervert.
Conway: I’m not a…Oh I give up! (A boy walks up)
Riley: Good evening Laura.
Laura: Hi Riley! Wow, you clean up pretty nicely when you’re in a suit and tie!
Riley: Thanks.
Laura: Where’s your date?
Riley: Eh, I don’t want to talk about it. I was set to take some chick, but she stood me up.
Laura: I’m sorry to hear that. Don’t feel too bad, my boyfriend couldn’t make it tonight, so I’m here with friends. (A slow song comes on)
Riley: Hey Laura, would you care to dance?
Laura: Really? Oh, should I?
Dawn: (Sighs) Just go! I’ll be fine! (Laura and Riley start slow dancing)
Conway: Hey Dawn, if you don’t have any issues with dancing with a boy, I’ll dance with you.
Dawn: Um, sure. (They start slow dancing)
Conway: If you feel uncomfortable, just let me know.
Dawn: (Thinking) I can’t believe this. With him, I feel so calm. There’s something about him. (She blushes) Wait! What is this I’m feeling? It can’t be that! No! That’s impossible! There’s no way it could happen!
Conway: Everything okay?
Dawn: Huh? Yeah! Everything’s fine! (Gasp) No. (Sees Zoey kissing Marley) No!
Conway: Dawn?
Dawn: NO! (She runs outside)
Laura: What’d you do?
Conway: I didn’t do anything! (They run outside)
Laura: Dawn! What in the hell is the matter with you?
Dawn: It’s over! Game over!
Laura: What are you talking about?
Dawn: (Sobbing) I saw it! Zoey and Marley kissing! It’s over! And here I am, thinking that she would take me back. You were right Laura; I was such a jerk to her. It’s no wonder I’m alone and depressed.
Laura: But Dawn…
Dawn: Could you guys just leave me out here? I’m just going to head on home now. I think I’ve had enough of this evening. I appreciate what you two have done for me this evening. It’s easy to figure out who my real friends are. (She runs off)
Conway: Was it something I did?
Laura: Not at all. You did nothing wrong. There’s just a lot on Dawn’s mind. (Nearby)
Dawn: I can’t believe that two-timing bitch! Unbelievable! (She starts crying and Zoey walks up)
Zoey: Dawn! (She turns around)
Dawn: Ah, Zoey.
Zoey: Listen Dawn...I…
Dawn: Save it! I think you made your case quite clear by kissing that gothic bitch.
Zoey: Marley is a nice girl!
Dawn: (Scoffs) If she’s so nice, why don’t you marry her?
Zoey: Dawn, stop being such an ass!
Dawn: Yeah, you know what! Fuck you! I don’t need you Zoey! Fuck you and fuck your new girlfriend! So you know what…thanks for the memories, bitch!
Zoey: Fine Dawn, be that way! (She walks away)
Dawn: (Tears up) Damn it! Damn it! (Violin music is heard) Huh? Where’s that music coming from? It’s not coming from the dance, so it must be elsewhere. (She runs to the courtyard) Oh! Beautiful!
Tiffany: I see I lured you with my music.
Dawn: That was beautiful.
Tiffany: Thank you. Not many people like to hear me play. God knows my older brothers tease me all the time because I play the violin. So what’s the deal? Did you get tired of the dance?
Dawn: Not really. Let me put it to you this way. Have you ever had your heart ripped out, thrown on the floor, while someone does the Mexican hat dance on it?
Tiffany: Big break-up?
Dawn: You don’t even know the half of it!
Tiffany: I’m sorry to hear that. Don’t worry Dawn! I’m sure you’ll be feeling like yourself again.
Garret: Tiffany, let’s get going!
Clyde: We’re going home now!
Billy: You can talk to your little friend later!
Tiffany: My brothers…such thorns in my side! Later Dawn! (She leaves)
Dawn: Wait, how did she know my name?
Narrator: Conflicted with strange new feelings, Dawn wonders about this new girl she has just met, Tiffany. What about Zoey? And what was the deal with her blushing around Conway? We’ll find out more…
Dawn: Hey, you snoop! Shut the hell up! I’m trying to think!
Narrator: My bad!
Dawn: And I’m not telling you a damn thing! All you do is blab the secrets! This chapter is OVER!
